Chapter 5.4, Problem 5.136P
Alter grading a lot, a builder places four stakes to designa the corners of the slab for a house. To provide a firm, leve base for the slab, the builder places a minimum of 3 in. of gravel beneath the slab. Determine the volume of gravel needed and the x coordinate of the centroid of the volume the gravel. (Hint: The bottom surface of the gravel is an oblique plane, which can be represented by the equation y + bx + cz.)
